Her new collection of poetry, Snowflake / different streets is a two-in-one-kind-of-a-deal: Snowflake collects new poems, while different streets collects "newer" poems.
Myles is not afraid of life, and her writing transmits just that, life and will on the road, in lonesome reflections, in bed, everywhere, basically. The poems in these two books are noticeably tall, from far they can look like shopping lists. I'm sure even her shopping lists deserve a book. Here's an excerpt:
Eileen
yes Ernie
why can you
have junk
food & I
cannot. Why can
you have a
giant plate
of pasta
and I can
no longer have
my crunchy
treats Why
treats Why
am I served
up a cold
fish plate.
you're not
so thin
Eileen
I know.
We're always stocking as much of her books as possible, that includes Cool for You (I die for this cover), The Importance of Being Iceland, Not Me and the excellent anthology The New Fuck You, which she co-edited.
